Pale Moon in the wild.. it is evidently the default browser on Exe GNU/Linux, a Devuan deriviative

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

I was checking out some more obscure *nix options for fun. I looked at Devuan (Debian without systemd) and its derivatives, and spotted this post in their forums: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4632

Apparently, Pale Moon replaced Firefox as the default browser in Exe GNU/Linux :)

Nice. I think user-selectable browser options should be the defacto standard on installers, the same way desktop environments are selectable on many distributions' installers nowadays. Default presinstallations of Firefox need to go... :thumbdown:
